Hey, So I've had a number of problems with my car as expected as it did end up in the sea a while back ... http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=432664 ... and after fixing everything else and getting it starting correctly, the power steering has become very noisy.

When the cars running it lets off a horrible squealing/screaming sound, however when I'm turning the wheel this will stop? I'm assuming the easiest route would be to go to the scrapyard and get a new unit? and if that's the case how hard would it be to swap over ?
Cheers, Dom :)

Hi Dom

They're very easy to swap mate. There's a guide on here if you search, but really it's self explanatory,

Had a look around for you and found this..

took me 30 mins, just a matter of taking off all the pipes + electrical wires, then take all the bolts holding it to the bracket then it just slides out, just need the right spanners, mabye some wd40 if the bolts are tight, then it's just a matter of fitting the new pump and connecting everything again :)

Hope this helps:y:

Mine was doing this, gave it a good crack on the metal end with a hammer (not the end with the reservoir) and it stopped mine from doing it! It's free and worth a try? And check hoses for kinks too

Mine worked with this but i was having to do it every other day and stuff.. Just worked out easier for me to replace so i got one for £20 from here :)
